Qian Xunji Discovers Tang Hao's Trail!

Looking at Qian Renxue's determined gaze, Jiang Yuan was certain there was probably some hidden secret there that he did not know.

If Qian Renxue had not wanted to go, Jiang Yuan would still have tried to maneuver around it somehow. Maybe he could have gotten Spirit Hall to cancel this plan. But since even the person involved wanted to go, nothing Jiang Yuan said would mean anything anymore.

"Then I'll give you ten years. If after ten years, Sister Xue'er, you still haven't completed the mission objective, then just wait for me to lead a great army to Heaven Dou City, tie you up, bring you back, and give your butt a proper spanking."

The sorrowful atmosphere was instantly ruined by Jiang Yuan without a trace. Qian Renxue looked at Jiang Yuan with a head full of black lines, a dangerous signal showing in her eyes.

Looking at Jiang Yuan, Qian Renxue gave a cold smile.

"Spank my butt?"

"Looks like Big Sister has been too good to you lately, making you forget who raised you."

"Let me test your recent cultivation progress, Little Yuan."

"Angel Holy Sword!"

The pitch-black soul ring shone, and a gilded longsword appeared in Qian Renxue's hand. Patterns of the sun's holy fire flowed across the blade, and the temperature in the void suddenly began to rise.

Jiang Yuan instantly sensed that something was wrong. The moment Qian Renxue drew her sword, he greased his soles and ran.

"No need, Sister Xue'er. I'm tired from training today. Whatever it is, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Angel Thrust!"

"Void Wings!"

"Don't run! Just watch if I don't beat your butt into bloom today!!!"

The sounds of fierce battle made Na'er poke her head out from inside the room. After seeing the situation in the courtyard, Na'er shut the door in one second, quickly locked it, and buried herself under the covers to lower her presence.

The scene just now had really been too brutal!

Inside Pope Palace.

"Your Holiness, this is the situation compiled over the past few years from the Spirit Hall branch halls in various regions. Among them, there are twenty-three soul masters with innate soul power at rank six or above: eleven from Heaven Dou Empire and twelve from Star Luo Empire. Fifteen of them have joined Spirit Hall."

Qian Xunji took the handwritten booklet Chrysanthemum Douluo handed over and began reading it. He nodded in satisfaction, then gave his orders.

"Not bad. It's about the same as in previous years. Have the various sub-halls nurture these children well. Once they break through to soul master, send them to Spirit City for centralized training."

"By the way, what is the situation with those children who didn't join Spirit Hall? As many as nine of them actually didn't join?"

"Star Luo Empire is being far too ugly in how it eats, isn't it? They only left us four? Do they really think Spirit Hall can do nothing to them?"

In previous years, when Spirit Hall awakened martial souls for people in remote places, most of them joined Spirit Hall.

The proportion in Heaven Dou Empire was higher, nearly ninety-nine percent. Because Star Luo Empire's official power was relatively strong, the number of people Spirit Hall absorbed there would be somewhat fewer.

But it had never been as absurd as this year.

Hearing this, Ju Hua Guan's gaze turned strange. He stepped forward, took out two explanations, placed them before Qian Xunji, and explained.

"Star Luo Empire did not play any tricks. The numbers are the same as in previous years, half and half. It's just that this year, there are two children from Heaven Dou Empire who did not join Spirit Hall."

"They're actually from Heaven Dou Empire?"

Qian Xunji was somewhat surprised and lowered his head to look at the two explanations before him.

Name: Tang San.

Birthplace: Holy Soul Village.

Martial soul: trash martial soul Blue Silver Grass.

Innate soul power: rank ten.

Awakener: Su Yuntao.

Name: Xiao Wu.

Birthplace: Radish Village.

Martial soul: Rabbit.

Innate soul power: rank ten.

Awakener: Su Yuntao.

"Heh! This Su Yuntao is quite lucky. He awakened two with full innate soul power in a row?"

"However, since when could Blue Silver Grass and a rabbit martial soul awaken full innate soul power?"

Qian Xunji looked at the two reports. First, he gave a disdainful laugh, then stared at Tang San's report and fell into deep thought.

"The surname Tang... Blue Silver Grass martial soul... full innate soul power..."

A flash of inspiration came, and Qian Xunji suddenly remembered that figure who often appeared in his dreams. He stood up, and a powerful aura swept through the entire hall.

"Tang Hao!"

"Your Holiness, you mean Tang San is Tang Hao's son?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo also suddenly reacted and spoke in disbelief.

"But Tang Hao's martial soul is the Clear Sky Hammer."

"Have you forgotten what that woman's martial soul was back then?" Qian Xunji sneered, his gaze coldly fixed on the words Tang San, Blue Silver Grass, and full innate soul power.

"Besides, how could there be so many coincidences in the world? For a Blue Silver Grass martial soul with innate full soul power to appear right after Tang Hao had been missing for six years?"

After Qian Xunji's reminder, Chrysanthemum Douluo recalled the battle back then, and the Blue Silver Grass that had danced wildly across the sky.

That was definitely the most powerful plant-type martial soul he had ever seen.

Even his Strange Velvet Chrysanthemum fell half a step short compared to hers.

"Your Holiness, then we..."

Chrysanthemum Douluo straightened, an icy light showing in his eyes.

"Don't alert the enemy yet. Have Gui Mei scout around Holy Soul Village. Once he finds the target, he is to return and report at once. I want to lay an inescapable net for them."

"Make sure Tang Hao has no way to escape, even if he grows wings!"

Thinking of Tang Hao's combat power back then, Qian Xunji did not rush. He calmly issued order after order.

As Qian Xunji's commands were given, a shadow in the darkness silently swept out of the hall.

Along the way, it did not disturb a single figure.

While dealing with Tang San and Tang Hao, Qian Xunji also did not forget the special case that was Xiao Wu, though he clearly did not value her as highly as Tang San.

With Spirit Hall's high-level combat forces about to stand by at any moment, he merely sent a Soul Saint-level Palace Guard to scout things out.

And, while at it, to invite Xiao Wu to join Spirit Hall.

Qian Renxue had left, taking the two Titled Douluo, Snake Spear Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo, with her.

Recently, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had also been acting mysteriously, no one knew what they were doing.

Jiang Yuan could only bring his "new discovery" to Lion Douluo, who was teaching Na'er.

"You're sure this thing can really improve one's physique?"

Lion Douluo stared at the Whale Glue in his hand and sank into thought. Beside him, Na'er blinked her beautiful big eyes, staring fixedly at Jiang Yuan, curiosity in her gaze.

"It can. Though it doesn't do much for me, if you take enough of it, it should probably raise the limit of your spirit rings by one or two thousand years."

"Of course, if there were ten-thousand-year or hundred-thousand-year Whale Glue, the effect would be even better."

Whale Glue, in this era, had not yet had its true use discovered and was only used as an aphrodisiac, but even so, it was in short supply on the market.

Jiang Yuan had discovered Whale Glue in Spirit City by chance, relying on the Void Ancient Dragon's treasure-seeking ability.

He had originally wanted to buy it, only to realize his purse was embarrassingly empty and he could not afford even a single piece, so he had no choice but to buy it on credit with his reputation.

Then he discovered that although eating Whale Glue did not improve his physique, it could accelerate his growth.

The Void Ancient Dragon and Ancient Sky Phoenix bloodlines within him needed energy-rich things as nourishment.
